Pratt, of Brooklyn, has been denied, and
instead of being let out on bail, the convicted
ex-Alderman will probably be sent to Sing Sing
immediately. There has been no miscarriage
of justice in this case; and while the public
desires to SEQ no harshness shown to McQuade,
1t will approve no further delay in carrying out
the sentence of the law.
TIE Republican nominations for United
States Senators in Illinois and Connecticut are
excellent. Charles B. Farwell is an able man,
not without Congressional experience. A
sound Republican, he will serve at Washington
with credit to himself and his State. RenOm-
ination by reclamation was proper cOmpli-
ment to General Haw ley. His career is known
to all his fellow citizens, and, liz the future as
in the past, will be marked by generous devo-

establishing more offices for Democrats to I'll.
Doubtless this was what moved MIR. Ives

pleasantly explained. Nor can it be denied
that in Lord Iddesle CHS trembling hands the
foreign aff,i of Great Britain were hardly
aafe. Yet il the old statesman was to be de-
posed. it should have been done decently and
in order. He should not have been allowed to
learn the fact first from the newspapers. 1t is
said that at this late hOar Lord Salisbury
deeply regrets the circumstances of Lord
IddesIeigh's retirement. That is quite 10 keep

The report of the State Board of Arbitration
contains some sig nifcant statistics which Labor
aeitators will hardly quote in their addresses
They concern the recent strike In the Troy
Iaundries which the Board settled by persuad-
ing the employees to return to work upon the
empioyers' terms,, and they show that the
trouble cost the strikers half o million In
wages, and the capitalists $780, 900. This was
an unpleasant balance against Labor. The re-
